Apex Competition's 996 Carrera 2 Project Car

So what's this all about? It's about the impressive Porsche GT3 Cup cars that we can't drive everyday... so why not take an affordable 996 C2 and modify it to arrive at a semi-comfortable yet formidable weekend club sport toy... One that can still be driven to and from the circuit and even everyday!

mk1 GT3 wheels


We found a set of mk1 GT3 wheels from a bloke on Rennlist. (If you dont know about www.Rennlist.com, its the oldest and perhaps best Porsche owners forum on the web)


I say mk1 because these wheels are 8" wide in the front. Later GT3 used the exact same style however the front wheel width was changed to 8.5". The plan is to use the GT3 wheels primarily as track wheels mounted up with some good race rubber.

We're going to run a set on the street with Michelin Pilots and/or Continentals. For the track our second set of wheels will be shod with Pirelli PZero Corsa race rubber.

The track wheel/tire specs we run are as follows:

Front: 18 x 8 ET 55 with 235/40 Pirelli PZero Corsa

Rear: 18 x 11 ET 65 with 315/30 Pirelli PZero Corsa
